5.Be sure to hang up when the call is completed to ensure that you have disconnected.

To make a call to a regular telephone number using SkypeOut:

1.Click on your SkypeOut balance.

2.A new screen will prompt you to enter in the complete phone number of the person you want to call.

Note: Be sure to enter the number in the standard international format, including the country code and phone number.

3.Enter it in, and select OK.

4.Once you’ve entered the phone number into the field provided, it will appear at the top of the screen. Make sure the number is correct, and select OK.

5.The following messages will appear:

“Calling <SkypeOut number>”

“Call <iSkoot Server number>?”

6.Click YES.

7.You will hear a connection message, and the contact’s phone ringing until the person answers the call.

8.Be sure to hang up at the end of the call to ensure you are disconnected.

Receiving Skype Calls

When you use iSkoot to log into Skype, your Skype ID appears online to other users. However, in order to receive incoming calls from others when you are signed on from your handset, you must set up iSkoot to direct inbound calls to your mobile phone number. (If you have not already done so, please refer back to the “Setting up iSkoot” section of this User Manual: instructions can be found under the heading “Programming your Handset Number and Setting iSkoot to Receive Skype Calls.”)

Note: If you have Skype Voicemail enabled on your PC, you will not be able to receive incoming calls on your handset.

When you receive an incoming phone call from a Skype contact, it’s as though you are receiving a regular incoming call to your phone:

1.Your handset will ring and you can answer as usual.

2.You will here a connection message until the call goes through.

3.Be sure to hang up at the end of the call to ensure you are disconnected.

Motorola J2ME manual Receiving Skype Calls

J2ME specifications

Motorola J2ME, or Java 2 Platform, Micro Edition, is a technology platform designed to enable Java applications to run on mobile devices. As a significant pivot in mobile software development, J2ME emerged in the early 2000s, enhancing the capabilities of mobile phones by allowing them to run sophisticated applications. Motorola, being one of the early adopters, played a crucial role in popularizing J2ME across its device lineup.

One of the standout features of J2ME is its portability. J2ME applications, commonly packaged as MIDlets, can run on any device that supports the Java ME framework, making them universally compatible across a wide spectrum of mobile devices. This portability allows developers to create applications once and deploy them across multiple devices without extensive modifications.

Another key technology characteristic of J2ME is its modular architecture, which includes configurations and profiles. The configuration layer defines the underlying hardware and operating environment. For example, the Connected Limited Device Configuration (CLDC) is designed for resource-constrained devices, while the Mobile Information Device Profile (MIDP) provides the standard APIs and user interface components for mobile applications. This structure enables developers to create applications optimized for various device specifications.

J2ME also introduces a range of APIs that enhance the functionality and user experience of mobile applications. These APIs allow access to networking, user interface elements, and local storage. The game API, for instance, provides a framework for building mobile games, while the multimedia API enables applications to incorporate sound and video, taking advantage of the improved capabilities of mobile handsets.

Additionally, J2ME emphasizes security, an essential aspect of mobile applications. Through a security model that includes permission settings and secure data transmission, J2ME ensures that applications can safely interact with users' data and device resources without compromising security.

Despite the evolution of mobile operating systems and the decline of J2ME in favor of more advanced platforms, its legacy continues to influence mobile application development. The principles of portability, modularity, and security established by J2ME laid the groundwork for future advancements and paved the way for the rich ecosystem of today's mobile applications. Motorola's commitment to J2ME reflects a pivotal moment in mobile technology, highlighting the importance of innovation in connecting and enhancing user experiences.
